Anita Jain’s new book ‘Marrying Anita’ is witty, confessional memoir about a single Indian-American woman who suspects that maybe her parents are right and arranged marriages are the route to happiness.

Anita Jain, a New York-based Indian-American journalist, is single. For years she has trusted the western way of finding a husband, but maybe there’s something in arranged marriages after all. So she’s travelling to India in search of a perfect husband, the old-fashioned way.

Will she find a suitable man? If so, will he please her interfering family? Is the new urban Indian culture all that different from New York? And is any of this worth the effort? Marrying Anita is a refreshingly honest look at the modern search for a mate set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernising New India.
